Chapter 72
\nI’ve Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 72<\/p>\n
Ruby was rendered speechless. She felt a bit embarrassed, but she couldn\u2019t find a word to retort Grace.<\/p>\n
Grace added, \u201cI owe you nothing from the very beginning. Do you think that I was eager to intercede with Big Boss for you?<\/p>\n
Ruby used to regard Grace as a coward and stupid woman in the past. But in the end, it turned out that the fool was not stupid at all, and the coward woman was no way week-kneed.<\/p>\n
Ruby was picking on Grace at the beginning; later, because of Franklin, she became more jealous of Grace. If it was Gloria or any other outstand woman who was at Grace\u2019s position, Ruby wouldn\u2019t have been jealous of Grace; instead, she would be envious of her.<\/p>\n
There was a fine line between envy and jealousy.<\/p>\n
She was better than Grace in any aspect, but why Franklin couldn\u2019t see her and could only behold Grace?<\/p>\n
Grace was just a bitch who could do anything to earn money, while she herself had been taken heed of her integrity, but why Franklin could only behold Grace?<\/p>\n
It whom Franklin was into was not Grace, but another outstanding woman\u2026 Then the result would be totally different.<\/p>\n
It was Grace\u2019s sin to be mediocre and poor.<\/p>\n
But now it turned out that the fool in her eyes was not dopey at all. It turned out that Grace knew about everything and understood everything.<\/p>\n
Ruby stayed silent for a while before saying, \u201cBut you\u2019re still hypocritical. You were unwilling to do it, but why did you do it at last? You just wanted to show your virtuous self in front of Big Boss, right?<\/p>\n
Grace didn\u2019t plan to explain it. There was no need to explain to an unrelated person in terms of many matters, \u201cGo, leave. Don\u2019t bother me.\u201d As she was specking, she closed the door in Ruby\u2019s presence.<\/p>\n
\u201cWait a moment!\u201d Ruby, who was standing outside the door, vigorously pushed open the door. Grace knitted her eyebrows\u2026 When will this drama come to an end?<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2026 I\u2019m convinced. I believe that you\u2019ve intercede with Big Boss for me.\u201d Ruby glared at Grace, \u201cNow that you could beg Big Boss for sparing my life, why couldn\u2019t you beg Big Boss for letting pass it?\u201d<\/p>\n
Ruby was questioning Grace: Now that you could appeal Big Boss for sparing my life, why didn\u2019t you appeal for more, like totally letting go of me?<\/p>\n
Grace hadn\u2019t expected that Ruby would ask this question. She muted for a long while before saying, \u201cI don\u2019t care if you die of sickness, or car accident, or die for angering Big Boss again. I don\u2019t care about it at all. But this time\u2026<\/p>\n
This matter was related to me, and I don\u2019t want to owe any other a life. No matter who had intrigued me, even if she was a stranger, as long as her life-and-death problem was related to me, direct or indirect, I would come to intercede with Big Boss., for I don\u2019t want to bear the burden of another death in the rest of my miserable life.\u201d<\/p>\n
At least she could afford the price named by that man. But if she owed a life, she would have no way to pay it back in the rest of her life.<\/p>\n
\u201cRuby, in other words, if you simply offended Big Boss that day and the matter had nothing to do with me, I promise that I wouldn\u2019t have intercede with Big Boss for you. Although I didn\u2019t need to pay anything for the pleading, I wouldn\u2019t have put in any good words for you.\u201d<\/p>\n
It seemed that Grace was gradually convinced by herself as she was making this excuse.<\/p>\n
However, there was arrogance and dignity deep in her heart, although Grace herself didn\u2019t discern it\u2026 Who was Ruby? Ruby was just nobody! Ruby was not Leona, so she was not eligible for making Grace feel beholden.<\/p>\n
Yeah, there was such kind of dignity deep in Grace\u2019s heart\u2026 Although the three years of imprisonment had deprived her of her arrogance and dignity and therefore she became coward, miserable and mediocre, but those qualities that was craved in her spirits could not be deprived.<\/p>\n
Although she had forgotten her past self with youthful indiscretion and confidence, some qualities were still hided deep in her heart, her blood, her flesh, and even her bones.<\/p>\n
Ruby was pushed out of the door by Grace. When the door was closed, Ruby was still lost in her thoughts.<\/p>\n
Ruby was started.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow\u2026 How comes that you\u2019re still here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cayne folded his arms in front of his chest, leaned against the wall and tilted his head to look at Ruby, smiling, \u201cI accidently dropped my phone in the pocket of your coat.\u201d<\/p>\n
As he was speaking, he reached out his hand towards the pocket of Ruby\u2019s coat.<\/p>\n
\u201cYuck! What are you doing? Are you robing? I will call the\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
The word \u2018police\u2019 was swallowed. Petrified, Ruby looked at the man as he took out a phone from her pocket with his slender fingers. And that was not her phone.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2026 When\u2026 How could it be?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI told you that I accidently dropped my phone in your pocket.\u201d<\/p>\n
He was lying! Ruby planned to retort, but she had a hunch that his man was somebody she couldn\u2019t afford to offend. She had angered Big Boss, and now she felt nervous in the face of this handsome and rich man.<\/p>\n
Of course, his phone wouldn\u2019t have been accidently dropped into the pocket of Ruby\u2019s coat. Cayne walked past her when he went downstairs, with his good memory, he recognized that this woman was the one that had appeared in Grace\u2019s ward that day. So he \u2018casually\u2019 turned on the voice recorder and \u2018accidently\u2019 dropped his phone into Ruby\u2019s pocket.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, by the way\u2026 Thank you for proving me first-hand information.\u201d So that he could have a clear understanding of his prey.<\/p>\n
The bright screen was staying at the interface of the voice recording.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1277","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1277","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1277"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
